The council has complied with the duty under sectbon S of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding children and vulrserable adults. For 2020 we discussed and planned the following objectives and artwit￿5 to fulfil our aims- Enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church Enabling as many people as possible to become part of our parish community Teaching, baptising and nurturing new and existing believers Maintsining an overview of worship throughout the parish Considering how services can involve the many groups that live within the parish Putting faith into practice, through prayer and scripture. music and sacrament Offering worship and prayer. learning about the Gospel. in small group situations Assistillg people from all walks of life to develop their knowledge of. and trust in, Jesus Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish Providing assistance to the poor and needy of the parish Maintaining and developing our link with St Matthew's.

What we achieved and how we affected beneficiaries. lives At the beginning of 2020, Wivelsfield Parish Church had plans in place for worship and activities throughout the year, including musical events. ServI￿S in church and at other locations. a fete at Great Ote Hall and children's activities. With the arrival of Covid-19 and the consequent restrictions required by law in many areas of life. many of these plans had to be curtalled or abandoned. However. v￿rshIp of God and Servi￿ of others has continued as the Church has adapted to the new challenges and oprM)rtunities TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT Worshlp and Christian T&iching- adults Churches were completely closed- both for prrvate prnyer and public worship- from 23 March, but we were able to respond quickly to the restrirtions, holding our first online services on Sunday 29 March. Some services have been livestreamed on Facebook via the existing page run by the Church. enabling these to be easily accessed by the public. Use of the Zoom video confererbcing platform for other services- while less publicly accessible- nevertheless enabled a real gathering of the worshipping community. with opportunities for many people to be active participants in acts of worship. and to share much-needed emotional support and fellowship. In these gatherings the Church community continued to engage with the Word of God, and to offer prayer for the needs of the world generally and of this parish in particular. As well as many of the established congregation. others have joined in these acts of worship. some of whom have become regular worshippers. Jenny Billam has continued to lead the singing from her piano at home, Colin Holden has given a great deal of technical support. and ￿th deserve our gratitude, together with the many others who have contributed to these services. We also responded quickly when worship in church was able to resume in July, with 8am and 6pm Sunday servi￿$ and midweek services held in church. The social distancing requirement for worshippers to be seated 2 metres apart from anyone outside their household severely limited the numbers which could be accommodated in the church, and for this reason the main Sunday service at 10.30am continLbed to be on Zoom throughout the year. Thanks to the generous support of some of the church's neighbours in allowing use of their wifi signal, it has been possible to lsvestream many services from the church, thus enabling some to continue participating from home. A further lockdown throughout November closed churches once again, and high infection rates in the area in December discouraged others from attending, and so it was important that we maintain our online patterns of worship. The PCC decided to instsll a landline broadband connertion to the church, to give a reliable internet connettion in the future, for both worship and other activitie5, hoping that this would be a relatively quick process to enable livestreaming On￿ the church reopened. In spf(e of faculty permission being granted quickly* there were long delays by the provider, and tt will not be installed until at least the end of March 2021. Roger Whyatt deserves particular gratitude for his perseverence with this projett. It has not been possible for the existing housegroups to meet since March, but in place of this an online group has studied the'Ltving Faith, course from Lichfield Diocese. The average number of adults attending worship either in church or online was 65. Occasional Offices were all impatted by the restrirtions and many baptisms. weddings and memorial services were postponed.. there was I wedding and 3 baptisms. and there were 11 funeral services at the church Isome at the graveside); 4 funerals were condutted by the Vicar in a cemetery or crematorium, and 3 persons. ashes were buried in the churchyard. Worshlp and Chrfstlan Teach¢ng- children We started a separate children's seNice on Zwm on Easter Sunday, and these continued weekly for the rest of the year, being led by different members of the children's ministry team. From July to September. children's services were mostly held in the churchyard. moving to the hall as needed, and returning to Zoom during the November lockdown. These services have provided Christian teaching and worship for the children and pastoral support for them and their families, at a time when many have been isolated from friends and family and facing the challenges of home-schooling. 9 families regularly attended these services, with an average attendance of 7 children across the whole year. Teenage members of Wicked YoLrth Club met on Zoom throughout year. facilitated by Steve Onions, but many of the activities nornially held for children couldn't tske pla￿- such as JAM days, Junior Wicked and Social Club and assemblies at the school. We were able to hold 2 Christingle Services at the church, with 32 children attending with their familie5. We also made plans to hold 4 Crib services on Christmas Eve. and 80 people had booked to TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORr ttend these, but due to the high infertion rates in the area at the time and the vulnerability of members of the leadership team, it was sadly ne￿5$ary to can￿1 these.

(cl The hall is regularly used for both church activities and a significant number of casual users from the local community with a broad range of artivities taking Pla￿ producing regular hire fee income. However the health crisis has disrupted this income in 2020. The flat has been let throughout the year.. The hall renovation and conversion costs were largely met by donations with the shortfall funded through a combination of interest free loans and church funds. The outstanding debt of £16,580 brought forbvard has been reduced through further donations of £280 and surplus income generated by the hall of £6,300. The debt as at 315t December 2019 required to be repaid for the hall is £10,fft) made up of a single interest free loan due for repayment in 2025. Idl The General Fund includes the value of the Church Hall lel The Fabric Funds have not been utilised in 2020. The restricted Fabric Fund is only available for repairs to the church. The designated Fabric Fund may be used for repairs to the church and church hall. If) The church wa5 fortunate to receive a number of legacies during 2020. The PCC has agreed to use a part of the legacy frorn Brian High to carry out various repairs to the church identified during the most recent Quinquennial undertaken by the Church Architect. A sum of £586 was also used towards the cost of replaclng the bell ropes. The PCC has also agreed to use some of the money from the legacies received to help pay for the installation of a phone line in church to provide an internet connection to support online services. Igl The PCC resolved to treat the income derived from the Church Hall as designated to repay the debt associated with the renovation and conversion projett. See note (c). 14 Other Receipts In 2019 as a part of our charitsble giving £l,IMX) was allocated to a fund administered by the Vicar to provide support to members of the local community who found themselves in difficulty and this was held as a Creditor in the church accounts. None of this fund was called upon in 2020 and to give greater visibility the money has been removed as a Creditor and is recorded as "Other Income" The sum of £1,000 has been transferred into a newly created designated fund called the Good Samaritan Fund. 15 Chancel Trust and income grant Following a revlew of the law the Chichester DBF decided in 2019 that the previous presentation of Chancel Funds had been misunderstood and that a revision was required. Income received from Chancel trusts is not investment income. as the PCC does not own the trust fund nor Its Investments. Income from Chichester DBF is a Restricted charitable grant to reimburse the cost of insuring the Chancel, which previously has been paid by the PCC from General Funds. In 2020 the grant amounted to £254.27 (2019 £258.21) The PCC decided to transfer the Restricted grant to General Fund to replenish that fund for the cost of Chancel insurance. Accumulated grant income not yet received from Chichester DBF and included in Debtors amounted to £3523.12 at 31st December 202012019 £3268.88J.
